1 Claim.

This invention relates to a tar burner.

An object of this invention is to provide a burner for use in meltin tar which can be used either as a portable burner or as a stationary burner.

Another object of this invention is to provide an improved burner head having an adjustable air valve for admitting air into the head.

A further object of this invention is to provide an improved burner head having a shoe on the forward end thereof whereby the head may be slid along the surface to be heated with the shoe contacting such surface.

With the above and other objects in View, my invention consists in the arrangement, combination and details of construction disclosed in the drawings and specification, and then more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a detailed end elevation of a burner constructed according to an embodiment of this invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure'4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a detailed side elevation partly broken away showing the burner in a vertical stationary position.

Figure 6 is a fragmentary sectional view taken' on the line 66 of Figure 5.

Figure 7 is a detailed side elevation showing the burner in a portable operating position,

Referring to the drawings, the numeral I designates generally a burner head which is designed for use with propane or butane gas, and the head I0 comprises a cylindrical body II formed with a rear end bar I2 which is integral with the body II. The bar I2 forms a pair of rear air intake openings I3 through which air is adapted to pass, and bar I2 has formed integral therewith a rearwardly projecting boss I4. The boss I4 is formed with an axial opening I and with a second right angularly disposed opening I6.

As shown in Figure '2, when the burner is in a horizontal position, opening I5 is closed by means of a threaded plug IT. The boss I4 is formed with acentral passage I8 communicating with a jet opening I9, which is formed in the end bar or wall I2. The body I I is formed with a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart elongated air intake openings 20 which extend forwardly from the end wall I2, and a cylindrical air regulating valve 2I is slidable within the body II.

The valve 2| is friction tight within the body I I so that it will remain in its manually adjusted position. A bolt or handle 22 is fixed to the valve 2I and projects through one of the air intake openings 20. Tubular handle 23 is secured in one of the openings of the boss I4 and, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, handle 23 is secured within the threaded opening I6. The handle 23 is adapted to be connected to a source of fuel supply, and the handle 23 has secured thereto a regulating valve structure 24. The valve structure 24 comprises a valve housing- 25 having a passage 26 through which the fuel is adapted to pass. A main needle valve 21 is carried by a bushing 28 threaded into the housin 25, and needle valve 21 is adapted to control the amount of fuel passing through the passage 26 into tubular handle 23. The housing 25 also includes a pilot fuel passage 29, and a pilot needle valve 30 is carried by a boss 3 I The b'ody I I has extending from the peripheral surface thereof a plurality of longitudinally extending and circumferentially spaced apart ribs 32. These ribs 32 not only brace the body II, but also provide a securing means whereby the body I I may be secured in either a horizontal or vertical operative position. U-shaped base member, generally designated as 33, is secured by means of screws 34 to the body II with the bight 34 thereof lowermost and the parallel sides 35 vertical. The upper edges of the sides 35 are adapted to bear against a pair of diametrically opposed ribs 32, as shown in Figure 2, so that the body II will be parallel with the bight 34. The two sides 35 of the base 33 are also formed with slots 36 extending downwardly from the upper edges thereof within which a pair of ribs 32 are adapted to engage when the head In is in a vertical position, such as the position shown in Figure 5.

The body I I is also provided, adjacent the forward end thereof, with a shoe 3'! which, as shown in Figure 7, is adapted to contact with the surface Which is being heated so as to support the forward end of the head Iii a slight distance above the surface and permit the head ID to be moved over the surface.

Referring to Figure 7, when the burner is being used as a portable burner, a straight tubular handle 38 is threaded into the opening l5 and plug I1 is transferred from opening IE to opening I6. The straight handle 38 has secured to the rear end thereof a valve structure 24a which is similar in every detail to the valve structure 24. A U-shaped bail or handle 39 is secured to and extended laterally from the tubular handle 38 so that the handle 38 may be grasped at a point for- Wardly from the rear end thereof.

In the use and operation of this burner structure, the handle is connected to a source of fuel supply which is either propane or butane gas. If the burner is to be used as a stationary burner in a horizontal position, the base 33 is secured to the head it by means of the bolts or screws 34 with the upper edges of the sides 85 of the base engaging the sides of a pair of the ribs 32. The air valve 2! is adjusted lengthwise of the head l8 to provide for the desired combustion and both the main and pilot valves are disposed in an open position when the burner is operating. When the burner is not in use, temporarily the main valve 27 is closed and the pilot valve 30 is left open.

What is claimed is:

A gas burner comprising a cylindrical body open at its forward end, a bar fixed across the rear end of said body and forming a pair of rear air intake openings, said body having a plurality of elongated air openings extending forwardly from the rear thereof, a cylindrical air intake regulating valve slidable in said body, means for adjusting said valve relative to said elongated openings, a plurality of lengthwise extendin ribs carried by the outer side 'of said body, a U-shaped base, and means securing said base to said body with the upper edges of the sides of said base bearing against a pair of said ribs.
